Had my long bike ride yesterday, a beautiful spring day it was, and got some good produce along the way. Today it’s grey and wettish out, which suits me fine as I have writing to do, journalling, TS, home assignment for creative writing class tonight, some professional stuff, maybe some more personal things too. I’m getting more in the habit of writing and I’m beginning to like it better each time I do it.

Whatever I do, I need to be sober and clean for it because when I’m under the influence that’s all I do and all that happens. Never again or so’s my plan. Have as good day as you all can friends. Clean and sober. Love. Pic is my favourite sight of yesterday’s ride.

@Teresa.13 Huge congrats and thanks for sharing your milestone with us :two_hearts: :people_hugging:
@maxwell & @Seizetheday Big congrats to the both you on reaching triple digits!!! That makes you sober twins :bouquet: :birthday:
@suechu Double figures already, yay you! Just a caution: wouldn’t it be a good idea to remove the wine from your car and from your life? You never know what happens later. Wine has no purpose in your life no more.
@Lainenicole96 @ @GazIrish Another pair of sober twins! Congrats on 5 days guys, keep going!
@wahtisnormal & @Michelle It’s one day at a time for all of us. I’m glad you’re here, and you’re sober now. We’re int his together :people_hugging: :people_hugging:
@SadMemeQueen Always good to see you checking in Megan. That’s some number you got my friend. Thanks for checking in.

Did the test. Have ADHD. Seeing doctor in 2 weeks time with all my blood test and scan results plus the psychologists report. Feeling really good to get on top of life.

I would NEVER have done all of this is if I was still consuming alcohol. I always figured, what’s the point, it’s going to say bad things. Now alcohol is gone, I’m looking for the next thing to work on.

I’m feeling more confident in myself and my relationship now.

Im day 24 but if anyone is still in their first couple of weeks of alcohol free, stick with it, it really does get better every week, even with a few crappy days here and there.

Day 865

Feeling good, feeling positive.

Don’t have much to share at the minute, home day with my youngest 2 so I have no doubt we will cause chaos, mayhem and carnage which happen to be the nicknames we are given by the rest of the family when they are left just to me to entertain!

So, have a happy healthy and blessed day, Eid Mubarak to all in the community who are celebrating.

Sending love, strength, health and prosperity to everyone!

1 week sober! Woohoo! My friend called me this morning to say she is proud of me and to keep up the good work. It made me feel good about myself and encouraged. There are good days and hard days. Today was a good day and I’m thankful for that.

Thanks. Not ear pain, a muscle or tendon behind the ear. Quite hard and still a bit tender for certain. Not sure what the issue is… I’ll keep an eye out for it and if it worsens I’ll need to have checked out.

Checking in on day 13.

Nothing new to report here.
Baked a cake with my sister today. It was fun just to do something.

Will check up on my best friend later, he’s been sick for a while now.

Oh and my mom is getting surgery soon. Gonna have to take care of my sister for a while.

Dad’s here but he doesn’t go outside much. Maybe shopping once or twice but that’s it.

The rest is gonna be up to me. Which is something I both dread and feel excited for. Can’t drink if you are indespensable y’know?

Hope everyone is doing ok. I for one am going back to sleep. :slight_smile:

Checking in 47 days. Hoping to make today a good productive, balanced day of work. I need to stop over working as my wife keeps getting mad at me for staying to long on the computer after 5pm. It has been hard and the amount of work I have been doing I think is only for a season. Then hopefully I can properly use this evening to rest.

Day 97 AF

Met my bud yesterday for coffee at a local shop. He’s heading up on weekend for our school mates service, a couple other fellas are flying in from across country and they’ll travel together. Still so sad. I did realize it was my first out of my house event with another person since this sobriety journey began start of Jan… I’ve literally gone to hockey, met son for dinner, have wife home and that’s it… not another soul really…weird.
My wife asked me to pop into liquor store to grab her pot while I was right there… another weird experience as I haven’t been in a booze store since prior to Christmas… it was very surreal.

Neck is still being bothersome, so my sleep suffered last night… anyway, that’s the end of the complaints department for today, haha.

I’m gonna work on my storage container today and then not much more. I’ll hit the gym again tomorrow. No hikes, no bikes, no gym today…well, I think

Day 41

Feeling more energy today so I’ll do some deep spring cleaning and get some exercise in. I’m craving lentils. Not beer, lentils! :laughing: Progress…

@Jasty2 you’re moving states? Eww, with all the new state things attached! Good luck man.,I’ve done it twice and am contemplating another. Will be so good when it’s done. :white_check_mark:

Glad to be breaking out of the early sobriety fatigue a bit. I won’t run out of things to do here. I’ve still got a couple of rooms to remodel. Lots of garden work. I’ll be in good condition for summer.

I love day 41. It means nothing, but it means a lot. This is life or death.

Have a good day y’all :heart:

Checking in day 59!! :hearts:

Calling for big storms here with very gusty winds. Plenty of indoor work to be done and planning on a good workout. I am quite sore from weights earlier in the week so I will do a nice stretch.

No real cravings but I know I have been eating WAY more sugar than normal. One thing at a time. I hope everyone has a great day. :people_hugging:
